Perception.....

[JackDaniels]

At 165 perception (including +15 from rollanberry lassi), one out of every eleven dark ores is +1. I usually get a +1 every second node, sometimes two in one node.

Okay I just got done testing this at Hala on Gold Ore, perception was at 177, does not make any difference....In fact on one node Master of Rock kicked in after the first swing. The next 6 swings were on golden ore and not one hq. So yeah I guess I answered my own question, it still doesn't make any difference what your perception stat is....

Devs? if your reading this, are you going to fix this/ make stats matter in future patches?

Thanks

Also tested the 177 perception on grade 2 node today, no difference in hq drops on that either..

I get that rate at 133 perception

As stated in previous threads about this exact topic.

Cap output to 8 attempts per node (~115)
Cap gathering to 1 swing per item (Varies depending on what you are gathering).
Fill the rest with perception.

Perception doesn't give enough impact to make a pure perception build and ignore the other stats. Better to have a reasonably balanced set that caps attempts, 1 swing per item, and as much perception as you can fit in the other slots. You will find a greater return being able to mine faster, and more frequently then you would if you increased perception by ~3-4%

With the GC rings and earring, you can get to this with output boots, and gathering hands, the rest can be perception,

How much gathering do you need for one strike on gold ore?

[Green_and_a_Half]

How much gathering do you need for one strike on gold ore?

115-120 depending on how precise you are with the strike.

[TheVedis]

Something tells me there is a cap for perception that we are not seeing. And its a bit hard to test for it given the circumstances behind it all

How much gathering do you need for one strike on gold ore?

Around 160 gathering if you want to get gold ore with one hit 90% of the time.
